.SH NAME
rigmem \- backup and restore memory of radio transceivers and receivers
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rigmem
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fICOMMAND\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
Backup and restore memory of radio transceivers and receivers.
\fBrigmem\fP accepts \fIcommands\fP from the command line only.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invoke bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
Keep in mind that \fBHamlib\fP is BETA level software. 
While a lot of backend libraries lack complete rig support, the basic functions
are usually well supported.  The API may change without publicized notice, 
while an advancement of the minor version (e.g. 1.1.x to 1.2.x) indicates such
a change.
.PP
Please report bugs and provide feedback at the e-mail address given in the 
REPORTING BUGS section.  Patches and code enhancements are also welcome.
.SH OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').

Here is a summary of the supported options:
.TP
.B \-m, --model=id
Select radio model number. See model list (use 'rigctl -l').
.br
NB: \fBrigmem\fP (or third party software) will use rig model 1901 
when using \fBrpc.rigd\fP.
.TP
.B \-r, --rig-file=device
Use \fIdevice\fP as the file name of the port the radio is connected.
Often a serial port, but could be a USB to serial adapter.  Typically 
/dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0, etc.
.TP
.B \-s, --serial-speed=baud
Set serial speed to \fIbaud\fP rate. Uses maximum serial speed from rig
backend capabilities as the default.
.TP
.B \-c, --civaddr=id
Use \fIid\fP as the CI-V address to communicate with the rig. Only useful for 
Icom rigs. 
.br
NB: the \fIid\fP is in decimal notation, unless prefixed by 
\fI0x\fP, in which case it is hexadecimal.
.TP
.B \-C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]*
Set config parameter.  e.g. stop_bits=2
.br
Use -L option of \fBrigctl\fP for a list.
.TP
.B \-x, --xml
Use XML format instead of CSV, if libxml2 is available.
.TP
.B \-v, --verbose
Set verbose mode, cumulative (see DIAGNOSTICS below).
.TP
.B \-h, --help
Show a summary of these options and exit.
.TP
.B \-V, --version
Show version of \fBrigmem\fP and exit.
.PP
\fBNOTE!\fP Some options may not be implemented by a given backend and will
return an error.  This is most likely to occur with the \fI\-\-set-conf\fP 
option.
.SH COMMANDS
Backup and restore are supported for basic CSV file and XML format where 
available.
.PP
Please note that the backend for the radio to be controlled, 
or the radio itself may not support some commands. In that case, 
the operation will fail with a \fBHamlib\fP error message.
.PP
Here is a summary of the supported commands:
.TP
.B save
Save all the content of memory in a CSV (or XML) file given as an argument to 
the command.
.TP
.B load
Load the content into all the memory from a CSV (or XML) file given as 
an argument to the command.
.TP
.B save_parm
Save all the parameters of the radio in a CSV (or XML) file given as an 
argument to the command.
.TP
.B load_parm
Load the parameters of the radio from a CSV (or XML) file given as an
argument to the command.
.TP
.B clear
This is a very \fBDANGEROUS\fP command, as it will completely clear out 
everything you have programmed in the memory of your radio. \fBALL DATA WILL 
BE LOST\fP. Use at your own risk!
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
The \fB-v\fP, \fB--version\fP option allows different levels of diagnostics
to be output to \fBstderr\fP and correspond to -v for BUG, -vv for ERR, 
-vvv for WARN, -vvvv for VERBOSE, or -vvvvv for TRACE.  

A given verbose level is useful for providing needed debugging information to
the email address below.  For example, TRACE output shows all of the values
sent to and received from the radio which is very useful for radio backend
library development and may be requested by the developers.
.SH EXIT STATUS
\fBrigmem\fP exits with:
.br
0 if all operations completed normally;
.br
1 if there was an invalid command line option or argument;
.br
2 if an error was returned by \fBHamlib\fP.
.br
3 the \fBHamlib\fP backend has no memory support implemented and/or
  the rig has no memory access available.
